North Carolina not likely to disappoint this season

Posted Nov 2, 2011
I've already written plenty about the Tar Heels, and am confident in putting them at preseason No. 1. A big key will be getting accurate, three-point production out of the two-guard spot -- and point guard Kendall Marshall forcing defenses to respect his jumper, too. They don't have to be lights-out from long range, but they can't finish last in the league in three-point percentage for two years in a row. (Sports Illustrated)
